After a small delay from the original release date, the Fedora Project has finally released Fedora 23 to the world. Users can now install it on their computers. If you don’t know how, then you can check our installation guide here:

If you are already running Fedora 22 on your system, then you can easily upgrade it to the latest version. In previous versions of Fedora the upgrade was performed with a special package called “Fedup“.

With Fedora 23 this is no longer the case and the upgrade is performed with the help of DNF tool.

Get ready to follow up the instructions below in order to upgrade your Fedora 22 system to Fedora 23.

1. Backup Important Files

As with every upgrade, you will need to create a backup of your important files. You can copy your data to external hard drive or different computer, just in case.

2. Prepare for Fedora Upgrade

Next thing you will need to do is verify the Fedora version you are currently running. You can easily do this by executing this command in a terminal:

$ cat /etc/fedora-release

You should see:

Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two)

The next step is to update all your existing packages. Get back to your terminal and run the following command:

$ sudo dnf update

Wait for all updates to finish. In the end, you may need to reboot your system to apply the changes.
